System Connection Examples

Here is an example of multiple ampliﬁers connected in a daisy-chain via analog audio signals or digital audio sig-

nals (e.g., AES/EBU).

In the case of analog connection, daisy-chain the [THRU] jack and [IN] jack.

In the case of digital connection (the standard AES-IO card), daisy-chain the [THRU] jack and [IN] jack, or the

[OUT] jack and [IN] jack. The [THRU] jack will output the input signal without change, and the [OUT] jack will

output the signal with processing applied.

In order to monitor and control the ampliﬁers from Amp Editor, use Ethernet cables to connect the computer to each ampliﬁer.

This allows you to monitor and control all of the amps in the workspace from a single computer.

In the case of digital connections, you’ll need to make word clock settings (page 20). Specify whether you want the slot’s

CH 1/2 to be the master clock, or turn Auto Scan Mode on.

Calibrate by Prog Source Limiter Here you can specify the limiter conditions for the amplier. Limiter Gain Reduction Voltage Limiter These settings specify how the limiter will be controlled by the output voltage. SIGNAL PATH Screen NOTE Page Page Slot Input Router Here you can specify the routing and gain from the slot input to each input channel. This is a 4-input 4-output mixer with the input channels and output channels arranged in a matrix. Input On/Off Here you can turn the input to the 4x4 Matrix Mixer on/off for each input channel. 8Band Input EQ Here you can specify a delay for the signal. Input Delay Oscillator Mix This species the phase reversal of the input signal to the crossover.
